Hey Smith & Wesson M&P Goons

[Hook686]

Are you really old enough to purchase a handgun ?

Are you really old enough to purchase a handgun ?

Are you really from California?

 

[PuddleMonkey]

PM, seriously, your name looks better in blue. :winkkiss: Nice 1911's, by the way.

Although they'd never admit it, these guys would miss me if I left.

 

[PuddleMonkey]

Alright, instead of starting a new thread for the AttentionDeficitDillweeds to get bitter about I'll just ask it here...




Anyone use these sights before? I'm disgusted yet intrigued at the same time. Looks like they sit awfully high, I do like the idea of being able to change colors easy though. Few things anger me more than red front sights on my S&W revolvers being lined up on a red bulleye.

Your "credentials" seem to be comprised of taking pictures of safe queens. you go!

It's a matter of taste and the right tool for the job. You don't drive nails with a sledge hammer, my Shield is a personal defense gun not a bullseye pistol. When it comes out of my pocket and I engage targets I don't notice the trigger just the same as when I pull up on a deer and fire, my ears don't ring from my '06, instincts take over.

Our highly "credentialed", "1911 guy" wants an M&P trigger "to look like a man's trigger" (lol).. to be all shiny and be a SIG.
Those sights are all man though.. you could match the colors to your socks every day.

 

[Mikej]

Some of you guys really brighten up these cold winter mornings for me.

Traces of "Nuts" indeed!

You do not have the credentials to question me.

I see no boogers on the bang switches... Very disappointing.

There's no need to get angry about me having nice things, but I understand your inner liberal democrat compels you to do so.

I'd explain to you that what you saw is a small sample of the overall, and having more of something means less use per, but I really don't think you have the math or comprehension skills to figure it out. Nonetheless, I don't do safe queens, everything gets shot. Just for drill though, lets take a closer look at one previously photoed that you claim is a safe queen.








Scratches all over the front of the receiver, mag release bluing wear, slide release and thumb safety bluing completely worn off to the point they look stainless.



BTW- Off topic, but aren't you the guy that rocks a shoulder rig for a j-frame revolver? Thought so.

Our highly "credentialed", "1911 guy" wants an M&P trigger "to look like a man's trigger" (lol).. to be all shiny and be a SIG.

I was obviously right about your comprehension skills being on par with someone high on chromosomes. At no point did I say it needs to be shiny, nor did I say it had to be a Sig trigger. I gave an example of a quality one piece trigger that doesn't have a safety mechanism built into it. I added the trigger pic as I know some of you rely on photos more than words.

You must be the reason Ruger puts billboards on the side of their firearms.

I must say, this thread has made some fun reading ..... that being said, I'm not sure why "pro-gunners" are waging a pecker measure over who has spent more money on their hobby. The monkey has a nice line-up, no disputing that, but don't hate on each other..... save it for Barry, Gaby & their crazy Aunt Dianne......I have some shinys like those and carry a few M&Ps, including my duty carry .45, which has the Pro trigger on it.... Can't we all just get along?

to quote the infamous Brutus .....

Nightcrawler out

 

[Stomper]

There's no amusement in getting along, that'd be as boring as watching a troupe of monkeys eating fleas off of each other as they groom one another (puddle monkeys excepted, of course)

 

[gunfreak]

Beware of the man with one gun as he knows how to use it... or the guy that can do 11 new York reloads.

 

[Martini_Up]

it's how my personality comes across on-line to those who are sissies. I always get the answers I'm looking for too, just takes 3 or 4 pages of back and forth insults before it happens. - That Guy from The 'Couve.

I don't see 5 1911's... a purist would know the difference...

Kinda splitting hairs don't you think? :huh:

 

[Certaindeaf]

My main posit is/was, if one is indeed "a 1911 guy", it's contradictory to polish/fret over a turd, ergo, my initial post.

Currently Apex is the only company that offers an actual trigger replacement. The FSS is going to be your best bet right now if your looking to more of a 1911 style trigger. <broken link removed>

 

[Lebowski]

I really dig the apex, but then I also like the stock glock trigger. I am aware it's a poopy trigger but I know what I am getting with every pull and the reset is crisp.

As far as I know the apex is the only game in town, but the addition of that trigger does make the M&P series into what I consider to be a premier combat sidearm.

This Thread makes a great lunch read by the way. Still drooling over the 1911 pron.

I love and carry the 1911 everyday, I picked up an M&P just for a fun... removed the stock trigger and replaced it with the FSS assembly. What a world of difference! As far as the safety lever... I believe it can be disconnected and removed or maybe just pin it in depressed (like some have done with grip safeties on 1911) The FSS trigger has very little take up, no creep and no over travel in my pistol. I think you would like the FFS trigger even with the safety lever in the trigger.

Dear PuddleMonkey,

If you want a 1911 trigger, then buy a 1911. If you want a Sig P-Series trigger, then buy a Sig P-Series. If you want the best trigger for a Smith & Wesson M&P, then buy an Apex Forward Set Sear trigger kit and shut yer yap.
